The (US) Copyright Office has refused to register copyrights in works that are openly described as AI-generated, on the basis that only works of human authorship give rise to copyright protection. You can read their justification at length here: https://copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf

Because the laws say so. Simple as that.

Robotically made things, or things made by animals, are not works that reflect personal creativity.
